THE NEW YORKER of the government lawyers, probably of relief. The Judge ended with no per- ceptible climax. At 4: 57 he adjourned court. Prosecution and defense counsel shook hands. There were so many of them this took a long while. Milling around in and outside the courtroom afterward:t we picked up a few facts and statistics on the case. In attendance, it has been a bust. There were only two spectators who had at- tended the full trial: an Alcoa publicity man, who had been told off to write some kind of history of the affair, and a retired patent attorney, who was merely fascInated. One of the attorneys got married during hostilities, a prosecu- tion man, who remarked to us, "I saw this thing going on ad -infinitum, and I didn't want to wait till I was an old man." Two of the defense attorneys fathered two children each and four prosecution lawyers had one child each. Representatives of each side told us that they had only fifteen lawyers, while the other side had at least fifty. During the trial, one of the government lawyers resigned and went to work for an aluminum company, while a member of the Alcoa defense staff resigned to take a place in Mr. Arnold's anti-trust di- vision. (This is called the balance of nature.) The government subpænaed about the equivalent of two boxcars full of records, all of which were read out in court. Blackstone could never have figured that law would come to this. Labor Trottble T HE world's only four-leaf-clover farm, as far as we know (or care), is in an outlying area of the Panama Canal Zone, where an American named Daniels, a telephone engineer, makes some thousands of dollars of pin mon- ey annually by selling four-leaf clovers which he raises from a special seed he has developed. He has them pressed be- tween sheets of transparent plastic and sells them in quantity to toy and novelty dealers. Well, anyway, we wanted to tell you about his somewhat unique la- bor trouble. H employed a number of Panamanian girls in his greenhouse and factory, and one day they announced, in a body, that they were resigning. The wages were O.K., they said, but they had no particular use for the money. Mr. Daniels had a ready solution to this unusual situation. He got out a Sears Roebuck catalogue and eXplained how the girls could send away for any of the things it described. The girls went right back to work, and the economic system, which had momentarily tottered, swung into high gear again. Cops in Society T HIS item is about a pair of twins named Jack and Earl Blair. Jack and Earl are thirty-four years old, stand something over six feet two inches, and are motorcycle cops in Palm Beach, where t ey make Café Society something of a hobby, and vice versa. For the past several years it has been the hulking twin- sies' custom to hit New York about the first of October for a brief va- cation, in the course of which they are wined and dined by various glittering -: social figures, such as Wool worth Don- ahue, James Cromwell, Lucius Beebe, and Lenore Lemmon. Never a man to shirk a journalistic duty, we squared our shoulders and trotted over to the Barclay Hotel one day last week, for an interview with these somewhat differ- ent cops. Jack and Earl, who were, at noon, just having their breakfast, eXplained that they had had a hard night. "We opened that new Club Copacabana," Jack said airily. "Then we dropped in at El Morocco, and finally wound up at Reuben's. Little tired this morning, and we got a big day ahead of us." "George Raft tried to take our gals away from us," Earl added. On cross-examination he proved unable to tell us who the girls were. Or maybe it was discretion. " M . V h . I } . k " Ine was an somet lng, t un , he said. In general, the twins told us, with due modesty, they had been much sought after by débutantes. "You'd think the Army drafted all the men out of this town, the rush we get," Jack said. He then whipped out a black ad- dress book and called up a Betty Hen- nessey, who wasn't in at the moment. "Tell her Jack and Earl are in town," Jack said. He then called Jerome Zerbe and left the same message. You can see how it is with thct Blair twins. The boys have been on the Palm Beach police force for twelve years and have met most of their celebrated friends in the line of duty. This led to their being invited out to cocktail parties by Colonel Bradley, Mrs. Kim :Moran, an d other prominent win te r visitors. "V\T e happened to be kind of an un- usual pair, twins, and people just took a liking to us," eXplained Jack, evidently the more articulate of the two. Also, the 15 Blairs wear super-dooper uniforms that they designed themselves (apparently with the consent of their superiors), and they make it a point to meet the Orange Blossom Special and the Florida Special on the right days and help the residents get to their places. Little courtesies like that are something people don't forget. "V\T e do everything we can for then1 down there, and r God, they do all righf-hy us here." Jack still speaking. "Of course, we got to use our head," Earl told us. "vVe try to avoid the ones that are on the spot or something. We're coast- ing along pretty good." In addition to several fairly complete tours of the night clubs, they had, when Wt: talked with them, taken in three or four of the best lunch spots in town. As to their future plans, they were vague. "Lord knows," said Jack. "I guess we'll just keep spreading it out." "Yes," said Earl, "we'll just keep spreading it out." Discipline A TOUCHING little incident, in- dicative of woman's willingness to fit herself into the new military scheme of things, took place the other afternoon in Central Park. A lady fell off a bi- cycle, skinned her knee, and momentarily passed out. When she came to, another lady was fussing over her wound. "Here. you're not doing that right," the victim said. "I know it's not right because I'm a member of a first-aid class. " "Well, I'm a chairman of a first-aid class," the Samaritan said briskly, "and I say I arn doing it right." "Sorry. Go ahead," the injured lady mumhled. Moving Day M .L KY people who wanted fish got them free recently when the Aquarium broke up housekeeping. The Bronx Zoo got most of them. The Bos- ton and Philadelphia aquaria each took some likely specimens, and the Depart- ment of Water Supply put in for all the salmon, trout, and bass that could be spared. The Water Supply people need fresh-water fish, and to that end maintain a hatchery up in the Bronx. vVater that fish have lived in is bet- ter for you. The salmon, trout, and bass from the Aquarium are temporarily lodged in the Bronx. Later they will be distributed among the upstate reser- voirs. The bass and salmon detailed to
